Yeah mad ey, wish we had the stuff back then the kids of today had. They are spoilt with skate parks and ready made half pipes now.
When I was a kid we used to find a derelict house and build a half pipe or quarter pipe and ride it till it broke or the local tramps burnt it down. lol. I could ride half pipe a bit, been young I didn't have the fear but I was never good at the street stuff.

I had an old zorlac board with gullwing trucks and some sims wheels. What did you ride slipper?
Id a fish board man.

I thought you were about 45 Osca ! Obviously not, if your skate boarding ! Lol, I had a chopper & a grifter push bike when I was a kid , I jumped off a 5ft wall & snapped the front end in half on the grifter & smashed my bollox & knees to bits on the chopper ! ...happy days

45 year olds can skate. I've lost my bottle now though. Last time I went to a vert ramp about three years ago I could still drop in and do rock n rolls, rock fakies, fakie ollie to rock and frontside grinds. The kids there were doing kick flips off the flat ffs
When I was a kid we had concrete parks left over from the 70's and metal surface vert ramps that were like cheese graters.

I'm sure some 45 year olds can skate , it's just the " looking like a nonce doing half pikes with the kiddies down the skate park " bit I couldn't do ! Lol . I'd be on a register if I rocked up at Ramp World with my scooter ! Lol . My mrs boy (18) is mad on a bmx , got sponserd when he was 13 , doing back flips & shizz all over the place ...then he found weed .

Anyone on a scooter should be on a register. They are terrible things.
BMX's and skateboards are the only respectable things.

You surprise me Baz. I thought you'd already be on some kind of register lol
